The word "allergy" comes from the Greek words "allos," meaning "other," and "ergon," meaning "work" or "reaction." It was coined in the early 20th century to describe an altered reactivity of the immune system to substances that are typically harmless. The term reflects the body's abnormal response to such substances, which can lead to allergic reactions.
